Genetic testing of pancreatic cyst fluid accurately detects pre cancerous and early cancer lesions

ROCHESTER, Minn. ? Mayo Clinic researchers have found that a panel of methylated DNA markers in pancreatic cyst fluid can accurately detect advanced precancerous lesions and early cancer in pancreatic cysts. Hypermethylation is a process thought to play a role in silencing of tumor suppressor genes, which are involved in controlling cell growth and division. [...]
